Chapter 55 - I want to give you a reward (2)

Sure enough, Chai Yue went completely silent. He raised his hand to scratch his head, embarrassed.

Compared to the single-brain-celled Chai Yue, Shao Chongsi was able to vaguely guess the situation, but what interested him more was how this person in front of him with ties to Huo Qidong was reacting. He breathed out a puff of smoke and sighed.

Probably since Shao Chongsi’s probing gaze was too hot to ignore.

Chen Jinyao turned to look at him. After a few seconds, she simply decided to look elsewhere. Young men and women were gyrating their bodies closely together on the dance floor.

When she saw Chai Yue who seemed like he wanted to speak but didn’t at the corner of her eyes, she couldn’t help but curve her eyes in amusement and said meaningfully, “There’s quite a lot of hotties in the Er Pavilion huh?”

“…” Chai Yue could keenly sense the crisis coming up in Yan Cheng’s place.

Not long after, Ah Tai came back with information.

He had a profound expression but upon observation, you could tell he was incredulous.

Zhou Xue really banged her knee.

There was a red patch underneath her stockings where she had been hit. The pain quickly spread to her nerves, instantly stimulating her tear ducts. Tears lingered in her eyes but they were forced back by the indifferent voice behind her before they could even fall out.

Yan Cheng, “You better keep your mouth shut. I don’t want to hear anymore gossip about me or my wife.”

She turned around to look at him out of reflex.

The man didn’t even look at her and suddenly laughed. “Otherwise, it won’t end as simply as your cousin being hospitalized.”

Zhou Xue’s heart jumped and she was frozen in place. She dropped her gaze and murmured, “Didn’t you just say that you weren’t the one who hired someone to beat Zhou Chao up?”

Yan Cheng, “Indeed, I’m not. But that might not be the case next time.”

“…”

He narrowed his eyes at her and warned. “You’d better understand where you stand. If not, even your status as Mrs. Huo won’t be able to save you.”

“Enough, stop looking all pitiful.” Leave.

Yan Cheng didn’t care about looking like a gentleman if he wanted to go for it.

Ah Tai was like an old man who couldn’t stop. He wouldn’t let a single line go and recounted the images he managed to peek on. At the end, he even lamented, “For a moment, I thought I saw Second Young Master Yan.”

Yan Cheng was the fourth eldest at home with four siblings. The second young master was the most profound one, and also the one best suited to take over the Yan family.

“He’s quite good at the weak act, huh? Keeps their guard down.” Shao Chongsi raised a brow and smirked.

Chen Jinyao never expected to be able to hold her alcohol so well.

Even though she clearly selected the one with the lowest alcohol content as a precautionary selection, the taste was also excellent and quite sweet. She couldn’t stop after trying one sip. Without anyone watching her, she began to go for cup after cup. The more she drank, the happier she felt, and the more she drank. By the time she came to realize it, the alcohol was already getting to her. Her head swayed left and right and her sight was starting to get woozy.

She felt dizzy, so she just laid down at the bar.

The glass surface of the bar was quite cool and it felt so comfortable when she pressed her hot cheek to that cool surface that her eyes narrowed in pleasure. She was muttering softly but nobody could hear what she was saying. Just like that, after turning quiet, she instantly shrunk her presence. The three men beside her all had their own topics to talk about and naturally didn’t pay attention to her. Even if they did, they would just think that she was laying down cause she was tired from all the fun.

Yan Cheng bumped into a part-time female employee when he left the compartment.

Red wine was spilled all over his jacket.
